Some folk think every wiki is a wikipedia, this is not the case

just as all squares are rectangles but not all rectangles are squares only pages within the wiki called wikimedia.org are part of Wikipedia.

(PBWiki now hosts more pages than Wikipedia)

Ouseburn Interactive is "just" a wiki, whereas this link shows the Ouseburn Valley page in the actual Wikipedia, feel free to contribute, that's what wikis do best.

Recent glitch sent to "PBWiki Support" support@pbwiki.com

On 1/16/07, Alex

Morning Guys,

I hope this is only a temporary glitch but it seems

that a couple of my wikis have dissappeared!

Hi Alex,

Thanks for your email, and I personally apologize for this inconvenience.

This morning, we discovered that a small number of PBwikis are experiencing problems allowing access to them. Our engineers are actively working to fix this issue right now. Please don't worry-we've verified that no PBwiki data was lost, so your wiki will be fully available shortly. We expect to have this repaired within 1-2 hours.

Again, please accept my apologies, and thank you for using PBwiki.
